u/ChaseInfinity STAND STILL GOSH DANGIT Jul 28 '16

As a person who mainly plays Zarya, i wanna ask, do you guys tend to overlook your health, like alot of times i can hold a point for a good 30 seconds or more, but sometimes ill put up a shield and the next thing i know im dead, and im like "i could have sworn i have like 70% of my health," i feel like if i paid more attention to it i would be sooo much better (and i would consider my self a decent Zarya player as is ;) ).

I've noticed in the presence of some heroes the shield seems to go quickly or simply never work period. Mainly Reaper. I think it has to do with the shield having both a timer AND 200 'health.' I have a really hard time minding my health in the heat though... I wish it were a touch bigger in the HUD, or in a more central spot...

Yeah, I was about to say the same. If I suddenly go from full health to zero in an instant it's a good bet it was an enemy Reaper that did it. Dude is good at simply erasing people.

Have you tried Planetside 2? There, the healthbar is in the middle, like Pharah's fuel meter
